Job description

Sous Chef Operations - Bromley
Contract: Full Time
Salary: GBP 34,200 to GBP 36,201
Contracted Hours: 45

We burst onto the restaurant scene in 1997, when we shook up London and showed the UK a new way of eating. Part of this was the 'kaiten' conveyor belt and colour-coded dishes which made our name.

We're all about fresh, flavoursome, authentic Japanese food. Sushi is what we're famous for, but we also have a mouth-watering range of hot street food available - from traditional classics to innovative fusion dishes. All packed with rich, aromatic flavours and umami. Today, we have over 70 restaurants worldwide, more than 300 kiosks in the UK, along with grocery products and pre-packaged sushi in major UK supermarkets.

We are looking for dynamic individuals with a love and passion for food to join us on our exciting journey. Our people are at the heart of what we do:

• You will be a role model, have an appetite for success, and a real thirst for delivering exceptional results.
• You will be ambitious and eager to learn.
• You will always strive to do your best.
• You will be enthusiastic and possess a positive attitude.
• You will embrace challenges with a can-do spirit.
• You will want to be part of our success story.

What you will be doing:

The Sous Chef is responsible for delivering a great experience for both our team and guests. You are passionate about our food and will support the entire management team across the restaurant. Your mantra is "Happy teams, Happy guests," and you will instill this ethos within your team.

You will run engaging shifts, interacting with team members and guests, ensuring only the best food is served. You will develop the team to Super Squad status and understand all aspects of the business. You are comfortable working in all kitchen sections, including fish cutting, rice cooking, sushi rolling, and daily kitchen preparations. You will continually strive to improve the food quality and ensure a safe kitchen and restaurant environment for your team and guests.

We're proud to offer:

• Excellent working hours
• Free YO! food - enjoy a selection from our menu during your shifts
• Opportunities to grow with YO! - we will fund your professional qualifications up to Degree level
• Support services for your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing, including private medical health plans and 24/7 Employee Assistance Line
• Discounted gym memberships, cinema tickets, dining, and retail offers via our reward platform
• 50% off your food when dining with us, plus for 3 friends
• Our commitment to sustainability, including sourcing 100% of salmon from certified sustainable sources, avoiding species classified as "Fish to Avoid," and featuring one-third plant-led menu options. We are also a proud member of the Global Tuna Alliance.
